As I mentioned in the previous post, just after Source Seattle some days ago, the ToorCon (also in Seattle) began. Some speakers took advantage of this to present the same or different presentations at both conferences. Friday the 13th was the opening day, with a small party, but the presentations didn’t begin until the following day. There were thirty talks in total, each delivered in a 15 minute period of time, with a short break for lunch. It was an entire day of presentations, from 8:30 till 10:30, quite a day!

Finally, the closing event took place at a club in the city where people could socialize in the best possible way ;) This wasn’t a conference where you could go and put up a company stand, but a place where you could meet people with a wide knowledge of IT security and share a beer. There is a risk that by the last speech you wouldn’t be paying full attention to the platform, but nothing is perfect, is it? It is another type of conference, very different from Source, but equally recommendable. In summary, the best thing to do is to attend them both ;)
